I Paralipomenon 14

1 misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David et ligna cedrina et artifices parietum lignorumque ut aedificarent ei domum

And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers unto David, and timber of cedars, with masons and artificers, to build for him a house.

2 cognovitque David eo quod confirmasset eum Dominus in regem super Israhel et sublevatum esset regnum suum super populum eius Israhel

So David perceived, that Yahweh, had confirmed him, as king over Israel, —that his kingship was exalted, for the sake of his people Israel.

3 accepit quoque David alias uxores in Hierusalem genuitque filios et filias

And David took more wives, in Jerusalem, —and David begat more sons and daughters.

4 et haec nomina eorum qui nati sunt ei in Hierusalem Sammu et Sobab Nathan et Salomon

Now, these, are the names of them who were born, whom he had in Jerusalem, —Shammua and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;

5 Iebar et Helisu et Eliphaleth

and Ibhar and Elishua, and Elpelet;

6 Noga quoque et Napheg et Iaphiae

and Nogah and Nepheg, and Japhia;

7 Elisama et Baliada et Eliphaleth

and Elishama and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

8 audientes autem Philisthim eo quod unctus esset David in regem super universum Israhel ascenderunt omnes ut quaererent eum quod cum audisset David egressus est obviam eis

And, when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek to secure David, —and David, hearing, went out against them.

9 porro Philisthim venientes diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim

Now, the Philistines, had come and spread themselves out, in the vale of Rephaim.

10 consuluitque David Deum dicens si ascendam ad Philistheos si trades eos in manu mea et dixit ei Dominus ascende et tradam eos in manu tua

Then David asked of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand.

11 cumque illi ascendissent in Baalpharasim percussit eos ibi David et dixit divisit Deus inimicos meos per manum meam sicuti dividuntur aquae et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius Baalpharasim

So they came up in Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and David said, God hath broken forth against mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking forth of waters, —For this cause, called they the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

12 dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos quos David iussit exuri

And they left their gods there, —and David gave the word, and they were burned up in fire.

13 alia etiam vice Philisthim inruerunt et diffusi sunt in valle

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves out in the vale.

14 consuluitque rursum David Deum et dixit ei Deus non ascendas post eos recede ab eis et venies contra illos ex adverso pirorum

So David, asked again, of God, and God said to him, Thou shalt not go up after them, —get thee round, away from them, so shalt thou come in upon them, over against the mulberry-trees;

15 cumque audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pirorum tunc egredieris ad bellum egressus est enim Deus ante te ut percutiat castra Philisthim

and it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou go forth into the battle, —for God will have gone forth before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

16 fecit ergo David sicut praeceperat ei Deus et percussit castra Philisthinorum de Gabaon usque Gazera

So David did as God commanded him, —and they smote the host of the Philistines, from Gibeon even unto Gezer.

17 divulgatumque est nomen David in universis regionibus et Dominus dedit pavorem eius super omnes gentes

And the name of David went forth, throughout all the lands, —and, Yahweh, put the dread of him upon all the nations.
